A More Difficult Road

This week was great. We met with T again.  She is doing so well, we taught her
the plan of salvation this past week. She said she is feeling like the Book of
Mormon is true, and that she needs to be baptized a second time, this
time it being her choice, not as a baby. She wants to show the Lord
that she's willing to follow him. We committed her to baptism, but it
was almost as if she committed to it before we asked. She's
incredible. Everything we talk about makes sense to her, and agrees
with 'her' beliefs. 

We met with a few new people, in that group are: A Nigerian, a mid
20's Korean, and a 91 year old Korean whom we first met at the
bathhouse. That's a great first impression, right?ㅋㅋ

We see a lot of potential in the investigators we have, we just need
to stay on top of things and not let one person slip through the
cracks. That's my worst fear.

KEN's confirmation went really well. Elder Harrison did a great
job, then we met with the Turners that night and talked about temple
work. KEN is so excited to do baptisms, then later marry in the
temple. It turns out that he knows where the temple in Nigeria is.
He's seen it so much because it's on the main road right by his house!
So no matter where he goes, he'll be close to the temple. That's a
comfort to me. He is getting ready to do work for his parents and
other relatives, and even plans on finding a wife soon! He's a great
man and has had a great influence on me.

I love this work and the influence it's had on me. I wouldn't have it
any other way. Similar to Robert Frost's poem, the road less traveled,
I'd like to change it to a more difficult road. We, as members of the
church, take the road that may be more difficult, and that has made
all the difference.

May we all take the road less traveled by. The harder, but more
rewarding road of discipleship.
